This is another perfect example of how the image of the Cobra has been redefined by bad replicas and a new reality of the Cobra has been created. These guys, as many others, could not spot an original if they were standing next to it... which they were. I know multiple owners of originals and they really get sick of bad kit car owners telling them how their cars are not correct when they have no idea what they are talking about. Regardless of what car you were driving these guys are obviously jerks but their comments also demonstrate the unfortunate fact that the proper image of what an actual Cobra looks like has been bastardized by the hundreds of misrepresentations running around.
